Abteilung 502 Oil Paint - Light Flesh Tone (AKABT135)

Light Flesh Tone is a purpose-made oil for painters who build faces and hands the slow way — glazing and blending rather than blocking in flat skin. Use it neat to illuminate raised areas of skin directly, or fuse it into your base flesh tone for the smooth, gradual transitions that oils do better than almost any other medium. The long open time means you can keep working a blend long after acrylics would have already dried on you.

Best for

• Illuminating and blending skin tones on faces and hands
• Oil-technique figure painting, from busts to 54mm and up
• Softening the transition between base flesh and highlight

A genuinely useful basic colour for anyone painting skin in oils — smooth, forgiving, and far more lifelike than a straight acrylic highlight.
